Natasha Townes Robinson attributes her recognition among The National Black Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 in Minnesota in part to her commitment to pro bono work.
Townes Robinson, a senior associate at Fredrikson, said she was “super honored and humbled” at her selection by the NBL, an invitation-only professional development and networking association.
She cited her work with a Fredrikson team on behalf of a Louisiana man sentenced to life in prison for selling $20 worth of marijuana. The Louisiana Supreme Court vacated his sentence “with a strong admonishment that it was excessive,” Townes Robinson said. Allen awaits resentencing in May.
Townes Robinson also cited her work, as an assistant attorney general, on the prosecution team that convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd.
At Fredrikson, Townes Robinson focuses on commercial, regulatory and white-collar criminal matters and advises clients on health care compliance, fraud laws, internal investigations and professional licensing.
